Chapter 423: Treasure (Part II)
The moment you enter the dungeon, you are teleported to a village, and the system beeps to sound with it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
[System Prompt: You have accepted the mission to hunt down the thieves.] 】
[System prompt: You are now in the completion range of the mission.] 】
The background of the quest quest is more familiar to Ghost Face and Drunken Orchid, who have already done a quest.
"To put it simply, we can find the thieves in the village and kill them to find the whereabouts of the treasure chest."
Now there are three missions on them, and the content of the quest NPC is basically the same as that of entering the dungeon, and there is also the quest to reveal the secrets of Borrea City from the Adventurers' Association.
Although the two explained to Ye Sheng the steps to complete the task, it was only when they actually came to the village that they discovered the difficulty of the highest level task.
"What, you're a squad of adventurers who hunt down thieves, just your group?"
The disdain in the words of the village chief made most of the people in the team feel less painful.
However, thinking that it was now in the quest dungeon, and that not finding the thieves would be judged as a mission failure, several people immediately swallowed a breath in their hearts and began to ask as usual.
It was disappointing that the village chief did not ask for the slightest useful information.
From the initial attitude, Ghost Face and Hua Zuilan noticed that something was wrong, and immediately told Ye Sheng after leaving the village chief's house.
"The message given to us by the village chief in our previous missions was almost conclusive. Now it's completely different. ”
Ye Sheng looked at the team whose atmosphere had become serious, and shook his head with a smile: "It's not a surprise, now it's just that the difficulty of finding the thief group has increased, and the real difficulty is how to kill them by skipping the level." ”
"Since we originally relied on the village chief to get clues about the thieves, then this time it should be more than that, we must not only find a way to pry open the village chief's mouth, but also find a breakthrough in other people."
The village itself is not large, there are about 100 people in total, and the quest dungeon is time-limited, and it is not easy to complete the process from finding the thieves to killing the members of the thieves in three days.
After walking around, Ye Sheng gradually found that relying on the identity given by the mission itself, there was no way to get any useful information from the mouths of the natives of the village.
"Are we thinking in the wrong direction?" Bingling Phantom couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, several people stopped, but thought about the key to finding the thief group.
"The scope of the mission is just like this, where can I find it?" Faith pious interface said.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Sheng immediately thought of something, and said, "It's just because the scope of the task is just such a piece, and in fact, the quest itself has already narrowed the scope for us." ”
Seeing that the rest of the team was still ignorant, Ye Sheng continued: "Where do you say that so many people in the thief group can hide? ”
After being stunned for a moment, several people said in unison: "The village is underground." ”
With speculation, many things are logical, and under a burst of coercion and temptation, the task has made substantial progress, and the village chief finally confided in the clues.
"Go to the old man in the village, he knows more than I do."
Touching the melon, Ye Sheng and the others soon came to the old man.
The old man had been sitting at the entrance of the village, and he didn't answer anything no matter what he asked, but before Ye Sheng approached him, the old man spoke.
"You're looking for a group of thieves? That must answer me a few questions. ”
Ye Sheng looked at Ghost Face and Hua Zuilan at this time, and the two nodded at the same time.
The ghost face in the team column said: "There is also this content in this low-level mission, I don't know if it will become difficult with the difficulty." ”
Ye Sheng didn't think too much about this question, and said directly: "But you have to make it clear how many questions you ask." ”
"Three, as long as you can answer to my satisfaction, I will tell you where they are."
After getting Ye Sheng's promise, the old man immediately asked, "If I tell you about the whereabouts of the thieves, how will you complete your mission." ”
What everyone didn't expect was that at the beginning, the old man would ask such a difficult question.
"You don't have to worry about our lack of strength to deal with the thieves, after all, we won't joke with our lives."
Ye Sheng replied, but he didn't mention the means used to deal with the thieves, and he was still vigilant against this old man who was said to know the whereabouts of the thieves.
"Since you say so......"
The old man thought for a while, but he still reluctantly bowed his head.
"Second question." The old man said, "If the thieves threaten the villagers of the village, what will you do?" ”
Threat?
Several people glanced at each other, and they all felt embarrassed.
After all, for the player, the lives of NPCs are nothing to mention, let alone these NPCs in quest dungeons, which are the product of pure virtual numbers.
"It depends on the level of threat." After pondering for a while, Ye Shengcai said, "It is our primary responsibility to come here to complete the mission, and if the mission fails because of threats, it will be unbearable for us." ”
After stating the reason, Ye Sheng subconsciously looked at the old man, this was already the best answer he could do.
Because this in itself is a fact that can easily happen, if you make such a promise to the old man at this time, when it really happens, do you really have to care about the life and death of the NPC?
In order not to fall into such a trap, Ye Sheng replied more roundaboutly.
"That means that the threats you face to the villagers will depend on the situation?" Although this sentence is a question sentence, the old man used an affirmative tone.
"That's right."
Ye Sheng didn't have too much hesitation and justification, and nodded directly in acknowledgement.
"Okay." The old man showed a rare smile, "I finally met a team of sincere squads." ”
Noticing their doubts, the old man said directly: "If you answer that you are afraid of our villagers, I will not believe you, I have dealt with the adventurer team, and I know your characteristics very well. ”
Ye Sheng was a little embarrassed in his heart, but fortunately he didn't talk nonsense before.
"So one last question."
"Can you give up the treasure chest?"
"Give up?" Ye Sheng was puzzled, "Why do we have to give up, getting the treasure chest is the purpose of our trip." ”
The old man said intriguingly: "You can't get the treasure chest. ”
"If we complete the mission of killing the thieves, it doesn't matter if we don't get the treasure chest."
Ye Sheng looked at the old man squarely, said such an answer, and secretly asked them all to calm down a little in the team column.
"Okay, since you agreed, when you encounter these three problems, you must not go back."
